Background

Dr. Huang did her postdoctoral work at the University of Michigan and North Carolina State University before joining the faculty at RPI in 2008. She won the Norbert J. Kreidl Award, the highest honor bestowed upon a student by the Glass and Optical Materials Division of the American Ceramic Society, in 2003. Dr. Huang has published many articles and given numerous lectures at conferences and symposia. She also serves as a technical reviewer for Jjurnals and books, including Physical Review Letters, Physical Review,
The Journal of Physical Chemistry, Journal of Physics:,Condensed Matter, Molecular Simulation, Ceramic Transactions, and Science of Advanced Materials.

Dr. Huang's research uses a combination of computational and experimental techniques to investigate the structure-property relationship at the atomic level. The goal of Dr. Huang's research is to develop a basic understanding for the rational design of traditional materials like oxide glasses and ceramics with superior properties, as well as newly emerged nanostructured materials for energy, environment and biology-related applications.
